People excel by having access to secrets. These so-called secrets are not actually what they are called. It is the unrelenting adherence of individuals to them that make them one. Everybody may have access to them, but not everybody can hold-on to them in trying situations. Call them strategies, you will not be wrong. Clay B. Siegall has one strategy that has kept him going all these years. I got to know it when he was responding to questions in a recent interview. In his words, “Learn as much as you can; interact with very smart people who have expertise in many areas.” Narrowing this strategy to his profession, he put it this way: “An important component of our business strategy is collaborating with other industry leaders and innovators in oncology drug development.” He never sees himself or the company he runs as a island of knowledge, but can we find instances where he put this strategy into practice?

Clay B. Siegall holds a doctorate degree in Genetics from George Washington University. He is a Co-founder as well as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman of Seattle Genetics since the inception of company in 1998. Being a specialist on targeted cancer therapies, Dr. Siegall entrenched into the fibers of the company a tradition of rigorous research, scientific innovation, drug development practices and unrelenting passion for assisting patients. Under his watch, the company has developed a number of effective antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with the FDA in 2011 approving the company’s first ADC product by the name ADCETRIS® (brentuximab vedotin). Thereafter, the company went into collaboration with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company making the drug a global brand available in over 65 countries.

Seattle Genetics has been involved in multiple strategic licenses for the purpose of financing its ADC technology. The company has had corporate agreements with companies such as Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, AbbVie and Genetics (Roche) generating well beyond $350 million. With the help of its numerous internal and collaborator programs, over 20 ADCs are in clinical development stages using Seattle Genetics’ technology.

Clay B. Siegall is one of the few indispensable hands combating the monster called cancer and providing hope of the eventual obliteration of the disease from planet earth.

When a company tries to sell its product in an overly saturated market, it has to do one fo three things. It has to decrease the price to a ridiculous level, reward the customers like crazy or offer something that’s so revolutionary that it takes the world of consumers by storm. EOS didn’t take option one or two. It ventured into an area that creators before them were too afraid to travel. It dared to be different than all the rest. The move that EOS lip balm made about seven years ago proved to be the smartest move that they could have ever made. The company now sells a consistent 1 million containers of lip balm each week, and it expects to continue that rhythm. It has surpassed Chapstick in its sales and has taken its crown as the top lip balm seller on Walmart. Burt’s Bees is the only provider standing in the way of this company at this time.

The co-founder of the company believes that its success came from the target market that they chose. They focused on fashion-conscious women who were 35 years old and under. Such women seem to be the consumers who are most fascinated with the product. Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian fit into that category, and they are some of the product’s most faithful advocates. Their fans are in that age bracket, as well, and they are some of the most enthusiastic buyers of them all.

Shoppers enjoy matching the lip balm with their clothing and making a fashion ensemble. The founder’s vision worked as planned, and the company has been quite fruitful. Overall sales have soared past $250 million, and the company expects that the trend will continue to move forward at the same or a faster pace. The manufacturers will continue to come out with new captivating products, dazzle the world, and break away from the norm in the makeup and lip balm industries.

His specialty was in being a scientist, specifically on cancer therapies. Seattle Genetics was made from deep scientific research, manufacturing of drugs and a desire to give assistance to the unwell. Up to now, Clay Siegall has led his company to a high cadre as a result of its success in coming up with antibody drug conjugates (ADC’s). In 2011, FDA gave the green light to the first ADC drugs, named ADCETRIS. Seattle Genetics formed a partnership with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company to promote ADCETRIS in the whole world. The partnership proved a success as the drug came to be endorsed in more than 65 states. The company is currently working on ADC’s to treat cancer.

The idea to form Seattle Genetics was motivated by the urge to help patients by improving the available resources. The success of the company is also because as an entrepreneur, he accepted that he didn’t know much and was willing to learn more. More so, he also saw the importance of incorporating other existing successful businesses in the field.

The excellent running of Seattle Genetics by Dr. Clay has enabled the company to collaborate in its activities, mainly the ADC technology, with other high-profile companies like GlaxoSmithKline and as a result made figures exceeding $350 million. The doctor has also secured funds, more than $1.2 billion to assist in his company’s operations.

Clay’s works have been recognized on many fronts, one of them being the 2013 University of Maryland Alumnus of the Year for Computer, Math and Natural Sciences and also the 2012 Pacific Northwest Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

In recent years, it has become quite difficult to acquire a loan using the traditional method that uses a credit score. If one is a first-time borrower, it is automatically harder to get a bigger sum of money. Most banks and lenders consider such customers to have high risks. Besides, most banks have redrafted their terms and conditions with increased the interest rates and required qualifications. However, it is not impossible to get money through alternative means. Margin loans and stock-based loans have rapidly gained popularity for their affordability. One such company that has recorded a rise in those transactions is Equities First Holdings, in the United Kingdom. Read News Here .

The chief executive officer of Equities, Al Christy Jr., stated that the firm has transacted more stock-based loans in recent years since the method is a genius way to cater to customers who do not have the required credentials for credit-based loans. Christy explained that Equities’ stock-based loans have a high loan-to-value ratio of 50-75 percent, and a fixed interest rate of three to four in percentage. In the case where a client decides to abandon the transaction midway, further responsibilities by the customer are put to halt. Stock-based loans allow the borrower to retain the loan’s profits even if the collateral stock depreciates. Unlike a margin loan, the stock-based one does not restrict one to use the money in an endeavor specified by the lender.

Equities First Holdings specializes in processing alternative loans by using a customer’s stock as collateral. The international firm has branches in four nations and is open to using publicly-traded stock from anywhere in the world. Equities values its customers and maintains integrity in all transactions as is evident in all the 650 deals it has transacted since its establishment.

Al Christy stated that his firm has the dedication to give clients excellent services at affordable rates.
